Welcome to our blog!

Weddings are tough! Everyone keeps telling us it will be hard, but so far, it's been easy. With the exception of...MONEY. Isn't that always the case? Everything comes down to money. So, this blog will chronicle our wedding plans, and we invite you to post your comments, suggestions, referrals to great deals, tidbits of info or personal wisdom, and your own wedding plan combat stories.

We also invite you to help us out financially. But everyone knows that in life, you don't get something for nothing. We wouldn't want you to, either. So, we're offering deep discounts on our t-shirt line. Please help us out so that Grandma Dorothy can come to our wedding! Buy a shirt and a generous portion of the sale will fund her airfare, oxygen tank, oxygen machine, and portable bottles. A portable bottle only last 6-8 hours, so she'll need a new bottle as soon as she lands in Newark Airport. And we'll need to keep a giant oxygen tank in her hotel room that she can get refills from.

I would be so grateful for any small amount you can offer. I am the oldest of her 4 grandchildren, and the last to get married. I really want her to come to my wedding, and she really wants to come. She's 88 and you don't know how much time you have left with your loved ones. Believe me, I KNOW this idea is tacky - and even if I didn't, my mother has told me so. But words can't describe how desperate I am to have Grandma come to my wedding. She has always been my inspiration to stay fit. She has always encouraged me to keep enduring through any obstacle. She doesn't know yet that Bruce & I are doing this. She'll probably cry every time I call her and say "someone just bought a shirt for your airfare!" We're not asking for much. We're not going to use this idea as a money maker. Once we have what we need, the whole operation will be turned off.

Thank you in advance for what I hope will be your not only your financial support, but what I hope will be your emotional support - through your visits to this blog, sharing your comments, and sharing this site with your friends.
